And now Aleksey has his first pk victory too. Granted, it was to an afk and half-dead mage, but.. still! And I didn't know he was afk.. I just figured it out when he wasn't fighting back, snicker. I even came back and rp'ed with him afterwards.

The Vrinlay PlainsAmber waves of chest high grass sway too and fro like an endless sea. The warm gentle wind carries the scent of both life and death. Some whereout on the plain a lion roars! In victory or defeat. The gentle call ofbirds and the occasional mewling of a oomla echoes in response. The plainsare teaming with life just as the sea.

[Exits: north east south west](Your mount) The elk is small but looks strong enough to support a rider. (Invis) Caliel a human with white hair and black eyes, is here.Rukin an ogre with blue hair and azure eyes, is here.

You slowly fade into existence.

You dismount from a small elk.

Caliel looks at you.

You see a decidedly small male Ogre, much slimmer and frailer in appearance than most of his species, with a slight hunch in his posture. His green-tinted face is cold and severe, seemingly chiseled out of rock, with enlarged cheekbones and a pointed chin. Curly locks of blue hair hang down in a rather untidy mass, covering most of his head and hanging down slightly over his burning azure eyes. Unlike many of his species' members, this Ogre appearsto be quite refined he wears a tidy robe, covered with a suit of shimmering,partially-transparent mail, and carries a book - quite rare for Ogres. His lips

are curled up into a smile that, instead of warming your heart, sends a shiver down your spine. You can tell merely by glancing at him that within that rather ugly head of his there are a million plans and calculations being madeand that his intentions are certainly not benevolent in nature.

Bow down before the one you serve, you're going to get what you deserve.Rukin is in awful condition.

You ask Rukin, 'Do you know the whereabouts of Eryidean's belongings?'

Rukin says to you, 'I do not.'

You wrinkle your nose.

Rukin says to you, 'But I can GUARANTEE you they are not in Splitrock'spossession.'

You ask Rukin, 'None of Splitrock took them?'

Rukin shakes his head.

Rukin says, 'No'

Rukin says, 'That I promise you.'

You ponder the question.

Caliel says, 'I sacraficed them to Desdra the Divine.'

Caliel licks over his blue lips with a sadistic humor.

Rukin says, 'Forgive me for not being in the mood to chat idly with the one whojust slew me.'

Rukin looks at you.

A figure enshrouded by a dark cloak looms before you. His skin isof a pale white and hold a glossy visage. His cheek bones are highand well defined, giving him an almost airy look. Eyes of a pure ebonyare set in perfect proportion to his nose, which is slightly up turned.Cold lips of a blue hue part just enough to reveal a set of sadisticfangs. Long white hair drapes along the side of his face and his largehands are tipped of with sharpened finger nails. Upon his wrist is abracelet emblazoned with a golden circlet that emits eight spikes tocreate a star.Caliel has some big nasty wounds and scratches.

Rukin says, 'IF you will please sell me back my item, I'd like to be on myway.'

You frown disapprovingly.

You ask Caliel, 'It was you?'

Caliel says to you, 'You will return Rukin's item.'

Rukin says, 'It was not him.'

Aleksey narrows his eyes.

Caliel says to you, 'Or I assure you, I will slay you, and Eryidean.'

Rukin says, 'Look at him, he's nothing but a young one. Disregard hiscomments.'

You see an ogre with curly blue hair and bright azure eyes.Rukin is in awful condition.

Rukin inquisitively raises an eyebrow at you.

You say, 'My kin has lost far more then this one mere item of yours...'

Rukin says, 'Yes, but not by my or my comrades' hands.'

Rukin says, 'So that is not the issue here.'

Rukin says, 'If you want to keep the item, I will have it back some way oranother, of that you may be sure.'

You say, 'I do not doubt that you would show me no mercy were it you who slewme and not the other way around.'

Rukin says, 'I will also find the one who took Eryidean's items, buy them fromhim, and sacrifice them all. That is my promise.'

Caliel looks at you.

Rukin says, 'So please, let's settle this.'

Rukin says, 'I offered you a tidy sum.'

Woodsman Antonil tells the house 'Is there a reason I'm being warned aboutRukin?'

You say, 'I slew you in response to an attack made by your lord against mypeople.'

Rukin says, 'I was not aware of this attack.'

You say, 'You yourself have shed blood in Kisah's streets.'

Caliel says, 'A bad liar as well.'

Caliel says, 'I saw the attack.'

Caliel says, 'It was in the center of Stonegate, and Eryidean assaulted LordDaehron.'

You say, 'I have no reason to trust you, and no reason to return yourbelongings.'

Caliel says, 'You have no honor either.'

You see a human with shiny white hair and icy black eyes.Caliel looks pretty hurt.

Messenger Feylan tells the house 'What do you mean, warned?'

You say, 'You are one to speak about honor...'

Rukin says, 'Last chance to accept my offer of gold, which may increaseslightly if you keep being stubborn.'

Caliel says, 'You do not take a weapon.'

Caliel says, 'I have more honor then you, elf.'

Caliel gets some soap from a black leather bag bearing the mark of the panther.

You snort derisively.

Caliel throws the soap at Aleksey.

Woodsman Antonil tells the house 'I mean warned, 2 different someones have toldto me that Rukin may be looking for me in an unkind way.'

Caliel says, 'Go bath, you smell foul.'

Caliel tries to leave south unnoticed.

You shake your head.

Messenger Feylan tells the house 'Didn't you just kill him?'

You put a disembodied spinal cord in an oak leaf sheath.

Woodsman Antonil tells the house 'Also Nash has stated that if Rukin attacksme, he'll be there in a blink if I call to him.'

Rukin says, 'You will die for this. It did not have to be this way.'

Woodsman Antonil tells the house 'I didn't, I was hunting the forest.'
